画笔下的大漠 ■李泉军刘昌炜新疆军区某部战士围坐在胡杨树下畅谈心声。解放军报特约记者王军强摄狂风掠过塔里木河沿岸，抽打着胡杨苍劲的枝干，掀起一片昏黄的尘沙，哨兵迎风而立，目光炯炯凝望远方……新疆军区某部二级上士周志杰在营院的墙壁上画下这样一幅景象。不久前，营区开展文化建设工作，周志杰主动揽下墙面绘画任务。常年驻守大漠，他对这里的一沙一石、一草一木饱含深情。这一次，他决定就地取材——捡拾形态各异的石头，捧来细腻黄沙还有胡杨枝叶，以大漠独有的黄色为主调开始创作。画笔轻轻移动，多年来的记忆在周志杰的脑海中若隐若现。单位驻守于塔克拉玛干沙漠边缘，多年前，周志杰从湿润的秦岭南麓来到部队，被干燥的气候和肆虐的风沙冲击，“鼻腔一阵阵发干，夜晚翻来覆去难以入眠”。最让人难熬的是执勤中遭遇突如其来的沙尘暴，什么也看不清，不过几十秒时间，身上每个地方都钻满黄沙。不久后，单位联合驻地群众在沙漠边缘植树。那天依旧刮着大风，吹得人睁不开眼。官兵和村民握着铁锹、捧着幼苗，在漫天黄沙中埋头劳作。看着大家齐心协力的身影，再望向远处金黄的胡杨，周志杰心头豁然开朗：“一代代戍边人坚强挺立，哪怕风沙再大也不退缩。”那天，喜欢画画的周志杰拿起画册，一笔一画将军民携手植树治沙的场景描摹下来。渐渐地，周志杰将更多身边的故事定格在纸页之中。最近的一幅画作，名字叫作《夺冠》，背景仍然是黄沙漫卷的大漠，主角则是战友梁子良。去年冬天，该部在沙漠腹地开展穿越机模拟比武。中士梁子良潜心钻研穿越机许久，本想借着比武一展身手，却在查证目标时出了意外。穿越机被杂乱的风向扰乱了飞行轨迹，一下子撞上胡杨树枝。看着坠落的设备，梁子良满心遗憾。裁判走到他身旁轻声说道：“天气太差，失误在所难免。”梁子良摇了摇头，握紧拳头：“是我本领还不够强。” 比武失利没有让梁子良消沉。自那以后，为了掌握风沙环境下的设备操控技巧，他专挑恶劣天气训练。狂风刮得机身摇晃，他反复练习稳控技巧；黄沙遮挡视线，他一遍遍熟悉胡杨林地形，练习盲操与目标识别。寒冬腊月冷风刺骨，盛夏酷暑烈日灼人，日复一日的坚持，让梁子良的技术愈发精湛。上个月，单位组织“大漠尖兵”专业比武，再次站上赛场的梁子良沉着冷静，操控穿越机平稳飞行。最终，他顺利完成全部考核课目，一举夺冠。风，依旧在无垠大漠中呼啸穿行。在周志杰创作的墙画前，战友们不约而同鼓起了掌。在戍边官兵眼中，这片土地深深浅浅的黄，早已不是单调的背景，而是浸透着忠诚、奋斗与荣光的壮美底色。大漠中的哨兵。解放军报特约记者王军强摄

Summary

Machine summary

Staff Sergeant Second Class Zhou Zhijie, assigned to a unit under the Xinjiang Military Command on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, painted a compound wall mural depicting garrison life as part of a unit-level cultural-construction initiative (文化建设活动); the article also profiles Corporal Liang Ziliang, who won the unit's 'Desert Vanguard' professional skills competition after training specifically to control racing drones in high-wind, blowing-sand conditions. This is standard political-work content — the dual profile format (artist soldier plus technical achiever) documents how the unit frames perseverance and local identity as morale resources for troops in an austere border posting. Its value is as a record of grassroots cultural-work methods in a Xinjiang garrison, not as evidence of a capability or posture change; the drone-racing competition detail does confirm that small-unit drone operator training is routine enough to be featured in a morale narrative rather than a capability announcement.
